Lemon and honey is a magic combination, be it a tea made with the two magic ingredients or a face pack, it always gives wonderful results. Since we always have lemon and honey at home, it is a good idea to get to know the various ways to use them together at home. We have lemon trees in our farm so our house is always filled with fresh lemons. I also love, love honey to the point that I have it almost every single day. Bothmy maternal aunt and I have the habit of writing tips and notes whenever we find or get to know good remedies. Few months back when I was leafing through the notes, I saw a full page of tips and remedies using lemon and honey that I had written years back. It was indeed a treasure trove and all the remedies were easy and very effective. I happily tried all those out and I have recorded all those I tried below, I especially liked the cough remedy very much. I have used Indian lemons for all the remedies givenbelow which are naturally more acidic than the lemons that we get abroad.

4. Lemon & Honey in Warm Water For Weight Loss:

Everyone must have heard the advice that if we drink warm water with honey and lemon in the morning it aids in weight loss. Though I couldn’t find a single study supporting this remedy, lemon and honey aids digestion and helps in proper assimilation of food which in turn is the basis for natural weight loss. But consuming only lemon and honey without a proper diet and exercise will not result in fat loss. Also many recommend to drink the mixture only in empty stomach, personally I hate consuming citric fruits in an empty stomach as it irritates my stomach. If you experience stomach irritation consuming lemon and honey in the early morning drink it between meals.
